No no, he meant it as a tribute. "Asia." As in, "Asia is so smart for giving everyone dashcams. theya re learning thigns about accidents that will save everyone's lives for generations to come! If only Anglophone nations were so scientific and concerned with safety instead of corporations paying off the grim reaper by gaming insurance rates."

Yes, with only minor scratches and bruises. Everybody was wearing seat belts.

No gore, just HOLY CRAP!

Holy Crap is right!

I saw a car once fly across the road ahead of me, on the high way, 3 feet above the road. Caught a pole, flung around the pole like a dancer, guy was alright. He didn't have an explanation for it. A buddy picked him up.

I was riding with a friend on I-65 in Alabama at dusk when I noticed two headlights that were comming at us from across the median but were vertical instead of horizontal. Luckily my friend was a good driver and swerved where it just barely missed us. I could see it on its roof spinning in the road behind us. Do not know the extent of the injuries but if it hit us we would have been farked up royally.

SevenizGud:The guy with the camera driving did a pretty good job. He sees trouble essentially instantly, and he moves his car to the right.

It's a pretty good lesson for drivers ed. You have to pay attention ALL THE TIME, because there is no limit to human stupidity.

Very much this. You may be a wonderful driver, but would you bet that everybody else on the road is, too? No. You should assume everybody else is an unpredictable, possibly intoxicated idiot who's speeding and texting.

I always assume everyone around me is trying to hit me. Around DC that assumption is correct far too often sadly. I've been in a serious accident before so I'd rather be late than dead.

I did too. It brought me back to when I was a kid and they had those long heavy drape thingys that just kinda slapped the sides of your car. My brother would tell me it's an octopus trying to get in, and it would end with me in tears.

For you seatbelt lovers.... keep using a minor statistic to believe that seatbelts 100% save lives. Or pop down to the hospital and look at the organ mess that belts cause in certain conditions.Fact: The original airbags were designed to pop out at such a force to protect a non-seatbelt wearing male of average height. This resulted in short people being decapitated, even a 5Mph accident, as their seat was all the way forward. Airbags now come out at less force and are not-fully-active until a certain speed or impact force on the sensors in the front end.When using a slimjim to pop a door lock, beware of the side airbag sensor. Unless you like the slimjim being a projectile.

/Lucky the car did not slice the roof off and then twice as many passengers to scrape up.//If you ever in an roll over accident where you got ejected while wearing a seatbelt and the cops say you were not... Have the clasp hardware tug tested in a lab..... Damn things can pop out with the right amount of forces(tug slack tug). Saves you a load on insurance claims and higher coverage afterwards when proven to be wearing a belt.

I've got one running every time I'm on my motorcycle, but I really haven't caught anything spectacular (just the usual dumbassery). I would have liked to have had it running in my truck the day a guy farked up on an interstate on-ramp in a construction zone and ended up scraping a jersey wall, overcorrected, then pinballed off four other cars across three lanes of traffic right in front of me. I was nearly involved in it, but I somehow managed to blow through a pickup sized gap without hitting anything or getting caught behind the now four lane wide traffic jam.
